I use a 23 gallon Rubbermaid recycling can with float switches installed to start and stop my RO/DI according to level. The way I installed the switches it must drop 11 gallons before the unit comes on so I have no problems with TDS creep.

I use a food grade drum. There is a local place that has canned food and they get olives in these 65 gallon drums. They sell them for like $6 each.

I use 5 gallon plastic drums to store water for emergency needs and a 55 gallon food grade drum for my ATO for both systems. I'd think the 55 gallon drums are the cheapest approach you can get, as mentioned most metros have places that sell them cheap.

Personally, I use two 25 gallon polypcarbonate water storage containers purchased from my local feed store and they came with built in drains. One holds the RO water (for freshwater and plants), that other holds the RO/DI water (for the saltwater);

^^ I like this! Nice and clean!! ^^

I have 2- 55g food drums that held juice concentrate in them. I use one to store and one to mix. Built a small rolling platform out of some leftover wood and some heavy-duty wheels. Plus being able to roll a 55g drum full of water around makes WCs a whole lot easier!! :)
